What's wild is that if I go to the Infowars website I can't actually tell if The Onion is controlling it yet or not. It all looks like satire already, full of absolutely ridiculous headlines.



Imagine there are humans who read those headlines and think to themselves that it is real.


Worse yet, imagine that those humans are armed, and many of them routinely fantasize about what they do when "it's time". My local gun store has sported an InfoWars sticker for many years now.

I don't think those people actually exist. I've never seen an actual person who wasn't satirizing or parodying an image of this person.

Not a thing for most places


Can't say that about the USA.
